David Beckham Sends Son Brooklyn Sweet Birthday Instagram Message

Sir David Beckham has posted a birthday tribute to his eldest son Brooklyn.

For the last few months, the Beckham family have been at the centre of no end of headlines about a family feud, with Brooklyn finally breaking his silence on the matter back in January.

In a lengthy string of social media posts, he confirmed he was no longer on speaking terms with his parents, Sir David and Victoria Beckham, accusing them of “performative” and “controlling” behaviour over the course of his “entire life”.

The football legend has not spoken publicly about the family fall-out, but on Wednesday morning, posted a brief message in honour of Brooklyn’s birthday.

Alongside a tearful emoji, Sir David commented that Brooklyn is “27 today”, writing: “Happy birthday Bust… we love you.”

His post was accompanied by a candid snap of Brooklyn as a baby, posing in a swimming pool with his mum and dad.

The day after Brooklyn’s initial social media post, Sir David made an appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he swerved questions about his family drama.

During a subsequent interview, he made a timely comment social media use among young people, noting: “I’ve tried [with‘ my children to educate them. They make mistakes. Children are allowed to make mistakes. That’s how they learn.

“That’s what I try to teach my kids. But you know, you have to sometimes let them make those mistakes as well.”

In the weeks before Brooklyn spoke out, it had been reported in the press that Sir David and Victoria had unfollowed their eldest son on Instagram, to which his brother Cruz Beckham made a public statement in response.

“My mum and dad would never unfollow their son,” Cruz insisted. “Let’s get the facts right.”

He then alleged: “They woke up blocked… as did I.”

Meanwhile, a representative for the former Spice Girls star also told People magazine around that time that it was “not true” that she and her husband had unfollowed Brooklyn.
